popular in character and services, and
most noble and striking ornament archi-
tecturally, to the city. The address was
issued rather unexpectedly Wednesday,
and so secret has the whole plan been kept
that it will come as a surprise to most OF

cided upon. The structure will probably
cover two ordinary blocks, and will OF
course, be many years in building. The
style will be Gothic, but no designs or
plnas have been drawn.
